Hard to support a team that has not played a game this season!

Geez, no kidding. What an argumentative and baseless thread. That arena is used for SO much more than Bobcats games. It is a great facility and although I voted against the funding years ago, the non-binding ref was overturned and we now have the facility so we may as well enjoy where our money went and quit b**ching about it!

I'll go to a few games a season, and it's always a good time. Prices seem to be coming down a bit for tickets too since the team isn't a contender yet

I will definitely go and check out the buzz. Hopefully they'll contend for a playoff berth.

Winning cures most ills in sports...if they win, there will be interest.

Don't forget the Checkers games there-- good times. I'm going Wednesday, it will be a good game.

We go to Bobcats, Checkers and arena events. The staff is very friendly and our family has a great time every time. We have never had a bad experience.

LOVE the Checkers and the arena secured their staying in Charlotte. They went from having ok attendance to top 3 in the ECHL. They do so much for the community too so they are a great asset. The team was seriously considering folding if they would have had to stay at Cricket (before the new owner bought the team). I listen to the games on the visiting teams internet broadcast and the announcers always say how much they love the facility and the people in Charlotte.

i am a wizards fan from the d.c. area and i know good basketball. give the bobcats some time and they will contend. jordan is on the right track and it too bad he didn't get a chance in washington. winning is everything and the people we fill the arena when a winning product is in play.
